No - 32 bit. I have a 64 bit computer, but am currently running a 32
version of Fedora 9.

I actually thought of this and tried it, but it does not work.

Yes. See below for the error message:

No -- I'm using the Firefox 3.0 release.

For 32-bit, Firefox depends upon xulrunner, so I cannot simply remove
it without removing Firefox. Installing or removing applications is a
non-issue for me.

Here is the error message:

# An unexpected error has been detected by HotSpot Virtual Machine:
#
# SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0x04e862d4, pid=10449, tid=3087616320

I was able to fix the idlde problem by adding the following line to /
usr/local/rsi/idl70/idlde/idlde.linux.x86.ini

-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=/dev/null

However, this fix *does not* work for idlhelp...

...so I'm still at a loss.

Thanks,
Greg
